Why Choose the Mersen W094825 5HT Time-Delay Miniature Fuse?
The Mersen W094825, catalogue reference MI5HT25V0.4, is a compact 5 × 20 mm time-delay miniature fuse designed to protect electrical equipment and industrial control circuits against overcurrent and short-circuit conditions. Its time-lag operating characteristic allows the fuse to tolerate brief current surges without unnecessary operation.
As part of the Mersen 5HT miniature fuse series, the W094825 is particularly suitable for circuits containing motors, transformers, power supplies and other inductive loads that may draw a temporary inrush current during start-up. This controlled delay helps maintain reliable equipment operation while still providing dependable protection against sustained overloads.
The fuse has a rated current of 0.4 A, a rated voltage of 250 V AC and an AC breaking capacity of 1,500 A. Its standard cylindrical dimensions make it compatible with suitable 5 × 20 mm fuse holders used throughout industrial machinery, electronic equipment and electrical distribution systems.
